Novell launches an enterprise Linux desktop (NewsForge)

Advertisement
NewsForge takes a look at Novell's new desktop. "Novell describes NLD-9 as a complete "desktop productivity environment." It includes a complete set of the basic applications enterprise workers need: an office suite, a mail suite, and browser. Novell has tweaked OpenOffice.org to fill the office suite chores, Evolution as its mail suite, and Mozilla Firefox for the browser. That's not all that's included, of course, but those are the big three items required for basic desktop chores. It's called NLD version 9 because it is built atop SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. That gives it a degree of hardening, reliability, and performance that is hard for other distributions to match."
